if you believe that the wealthy should pay more in taxes, at least their fair share. You are a leftist if you believe that everyone should be able to get healthcare. You are a leftist if you believe we need to invest more in education. You are a leftist if you believe in protecting our environment and using technology to lower pollution across industries. You are a leftist if you believe we should not unilaterally invade other nations. You are a leftist if you believe in equal rights for everyone. How do you live with yourself with such radical beliefs?

11. But someone unfit to live wouldn't have the grace to kill themselves. |
|
Whereas you realize that you should kill yourself, so are fit to live, so shouldn't kill yourself.
See, it never hits those who need it.

7. Clue -- I Believe All That Stuff, And -- I'M NOT A LEFTIST |
|
Fuck that. I'm a centrist. I refuse to be pigeonholed like that.
I believe in a philosophy of non-violence and social justice. That's leftist? No. It. Is. Not.

If you believe in all those those things you are an ultraleftist!!! You keep a little red book in your breast pocket and spout Marx from memory!
You are an unAmerican extremist who must be stopped before you taint young American minds with your filth! It's people like you who will bring down our glorious country!
:puke:
And here I thought I was just a good ol' fashioned liberal. But that was before Lou Dobbs and a few others told me I belonged to an "ultraleft" group called MoveOn.org. :eyes:
My 72 year old Mom would sure be surprised she belonged to such a group! :D

9. Those are all just American principles. |

They're not even any kind of leftist.
They ARE anti-fascist.

15. I find - with those beliefs - I am happy and I don't have to blame other |
|
people for my unhappiness - I blame other people for my happiness.
Unless you are stalking me - I love you all.

and on a larger note, I'm a human being just like every other homosapien on this planet.
Labels divide and disconnect. I think it's time we connect more with each other.
